...So, wait.

If Yaos had just struck a silly pose and shouted some kind of catchphrase, he might have survived?

No. I think we need to use that slab to make the weapon. If I remember correctly ,FFS said we had the wrong setup. That was what he meant, I think. Notice the little symbol above the slab? I think it matches our Soul Star.

Maybe each star has its own slab? I don't think so, though.

We should also see if anybody else can do it.

Let's see if we can Second Shift the sword back to a star (and vice versa) outside of that room.

So wait..... If the physical Oversoul which the Warrens are trying to guard can shift into a weapon as well, it must be one BADASS weapon......

We should try manipulating the weapon during Oversoul.
We need to keep a list of cool things we want to do during Oversoul.

Apparently there was a piece of Poetry named Oversoul, which(ironically) best describes my thoughts on what it basically is. Also has a bit of Soul-stuff which can in some way be related to Illborn. Loving these real-life parallels which can be found through Google Search

Why do we need to wait for Oversoul to make a to-do list?

We should see if we can extend Oversoul indefinitely next time we do Oversoul. Or at least create some sort of Soul-Charge-recovering thing so we can re-enter it immediately thereafter.

We don't.

What I meant is that we should start keeping a list as soon as possible, and the list will be of things to do during Oversoul.

Update already? Welp.

Astral Influx as weapon? Huh, seems like it is powered by Soul Charge and seems to deal nonrandom damage that depends on current level of SC. Wonder what "Combinatorial" does?

Spirit Archive: Just list? Nothing more? Can you select something from list?

Circuitrix's comment suggests she has at least two bosses. Serving two masters can end only well.

Proposed commands:
  • Move Hard Hat to Goombess. Move Red Wizard Hat to Cherish and equip it. As I said, our healer needs MSP. Those are, of course, preparations for DL4.
  • Ask Cherish how exactly Proxxy powered this crap up. She seen her do it, after all.
  • Failing everything above, Drop.

SLAP CIRCUITRIX WITH ALL 58% OF SOUL CHARGE IN A SINGLE SWORD THRUST
-1. I don't think I have to justify that one.

Initiate maneuver FUCK THAT DRAGON.
Only you can prevent dragon rape. -1.
While we are at it, -1 to any direct combat with dragon. -1 to throwing water on dragon (unless done in safe way). It is still suicidal (this SOB is way outta our league) and I think water will not do much to Stone Dragon.

I think that Proxxy powered up a teleporter, which this isn't. But no harm in asking, I guess.

We don't know either of these things, and we could learn both by throwing water on the dragon.

+1 to all plans involving attacking the dragon. If throwing water on the dragon is tied/one behind tanking, -1 to tanking instead. -1 to Dropping.

I stand by my assertion that Goom-bess is not our ally.  How could she have knowledge of the Angels but not of Proxxy?  Why was she so infatuated with Oric when describing him?

She's shallow and thought him handsome/cool?

+1.

Yes, my propositions are tied in. I want to Drop, so other command prepares to Drop. If I wanted to fight Stone Dragon, I would do some inventory management to maximize chances of party, but in my opinion it will not change much. 1.1% or 1.2% (just example), why bother?

We don't know either of these things
We know. We can estimate that Stone Dragon is way, way too powerful for current party that is - reminder - currently at 50% HP (in case of Ciro even worse, thanks to one certain suggestion that had no chance of success ::) ).

Returning to dragon...
Quote from: FFS
(Roll: 19) laularukyrumo is registered under Stone Dragon. The spirit appears as a great, grey, dragon-like creature with laser cannons for arms and jetpacks for wings. You're literally taken aback by awe at this point. It doesn't even have to make sense.

How we assess it's power without scan data? Both visually (picture, that missed laser ray) and from description of FFS and original creator, laularukyumo. Dragons already tends to be very powerful, high end creatures in RPGs - and we don't have high end characters. We have barely developed characters in weakened state.
Stone dragon would have hefty bonus to Damage Resistance on top - "Because why the fuck not, maybe I'll get a defense bonus.".
Jetpacks instead of wings are crazy, and two laser cannons, uh, I can bet those will oneshot any member of party. I guess Hard Hat guarded Cherish would survive two turns, if very lucky. Only Hard-Hatted, Bulwarked Al would have any chance of prolonged survival.

Fucking suicide, period.

I stand by my assertion that Goom-bess is not our ally.
This is correct. She is mencenary, not ally. I don't think she will backstab us, unless that whole strange incident with A.G. would cause that.
